Set on the planet Tuul, Blackthorne was a gritty game of revenge, killing aliens and a really cool blind-firing mechanic. That's right, in Blackthorne you could fire behind your character while moving around and all without looking. It was totally rad. Yet does this game and its world have what it takes to be an MMO? Well, there's a post-apocalyptic vibe in the original game and a lot of dark -- even mature -- subject matter like slavery. So we have to give a resounding "YES!" on the MMO'able scale, which is based completely in science and reasoning.
Tabula Rasa is another MMO that Blizzard could look to and refine on in the case of a World of Blackthorne -- or WoB. Tight shooting mechanics, evil aliens to kill, an involving world that has a cool factor of that would make makes for a strong sale if you ask us.
